EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hey,

I'm pretty new and want to make as much isk as a newb can possibly make, I want to focus on industry mainly starting with mining and little bit of salvaging/pve. I currently use a retriever and sell my ore to the leader of my corp. Post as MANY tips here as you can eg what training I should focus on, the best ships to use ect. I no like 0 lingo so please if you use anything like that explain what you mean.

Thanks.

K GO!

LOL, yeah I think the corp leader would **** my face if I tried. hahaha.

Also how can I post my player stat's to help everyone here post what I need to progress further? I cant find my char on eve board.

ill keep that in mind

I'll look into that, were would the best place be to find a group that is doing that other than inside my corp of course? Also what's the best way to go about it as I don't wanna spend 10000 hours jumping from nul sec back to normal sec.

Them linked post's make little to no sense to me lol. I have a badger but don't like the idea of just flying around. Another question is it worth getting certificate's?

so I should aim for insurgent's or whatever there called for PvE and probs do salvaging first so I no what im actually doing when I actually get into the fighting?

All too many new players go down the path of highsec mining for ISK because they are simply not aware of the other options. After a while they realise that while they are trickling ISK in, they are not having fun, and they quit.

Consider that your real goal might be actually to maximise your fun per hour, but you think you need ISK to have fun.

There are many ways to have a lot of fun in Eve that pay for themselves, or earn far more than highsec mining does. Highsec bot-aspirants will tell you that they are unsavoury or unfair or somehow not playing Eve right, and that you should aim to maximise your yield so that you can sell your ore to them so they can make more profit on it. Ask yourself who has your best interests at heart?

Personally I would recommend mission running rather then mining to make as a new player as the skills are applicable to PvP which is where the fun really is in this game, mining is for playing semi AFK.

I strongly suggest you get at least two copies of two mining ship to have a sustainable mining experience.

One AFK mining ship: a procurer, fit it with tanking modules. Needs to be checked every 20 minutes or so. Don't forget to use the "orbit" command to avoid trolling from people who have fun pushing afk miner's ships. Don't be silly and don't orbit the asteroid you're mining...

Suggested AFK fitting:

Drones: 2x Hornet EC-300, 3x Hammerhead. Gankers should have a terrible experience trying to lock on you because of ECM drones and won't kill you because you have so many HPs. Not saying it can't happen but only idiots would try.

So yes if you plan to afk a lot then focus on unlocking the barge and then tanking skills and drones.

You also need a ship for active mining with bonuses to yield and stuff like that. See the wiki.

If you plan to do active mining, there are a lot of guides out there and you should just read the advanced mining guide on the official wiki.

Hisec PVE Incomes can vary by activity.
Mining -> Missions -> Incursions


First thing I'd do would be to check on the market for Ore Prices and see if the CEO was ripping me off.
If he was, look for new corp, or seriously consider my revenge options as listed by L'ouris.

Mining has little overlap with most other common income sources
And I believe is best done as a group activity, and not just for the Boosts.

You don't need a Noctis for salvaging
a Catalyst with 4/4 or 5/3 Salvagers/TB's will do
